1.) The PRO is a good mobo, but if you're not going to use all of its features, get a cheaper mobo.
2.) Get 8GB of RAM, but if you really want 16GB, then get it, but 8GB is the betetr option.
3.) Getting 2x 680's is a bad idea. 2x 670's will save you $200 and you'll get 90% of the performance.
4.) Get Windows 7 Home Premium. Professional doesn't offer any substantial benefits.

I have a WD, and I've used several of their HDD's. They're good. Generally, Seagate has a higher failure rate.

Yup, I don't really think anyone needs the PRO mobo anymore witht he normal one being so good. 8GB is more than enough RAM for doing anything. As obsama said, two 670s will be WAY more efficient.

If you're doing rendering, stick with 16GB.

If you're doing 3x monitors, I'd get the 4GB version. Because when you do SLI, only one of the card's VRAM is used. Thus, get 2x 4GB versions.
